- File I/O API Demonstration
-
-
- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- The FILER sample is a basic file management applet, such as File Manager or
- Norton Commander. It demonstrates many of the new File I/O API, and their
- related algorithms, such as drive enumeration, .EXE version information
- retrieval, and directory tree walking. It also demonstrates many intensive
- User algorithms, such as child management, subclassing, synchronization and
- control window management.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- FILER presents the user with two fixed child windows, each of which the user
- may associate with a drive from the drives available on the system. The
- Drive toolbar describes the available drives on the system. Users select
- drives from the toolbar or the Drives menu. The Function toolbar corresponds
- to the file I/O options in the File menu.
-
- Each of the Drive child windows contains a Directory ListBox, and a File
- ListBox, for browsing through the files on the selected drive.
-
- FILER gives the user the option to open (execute or edit), copy, delete,
- move, and rename files, create and remove directories, and display any
- version information embedded in the files. The active Drive child acts as
- the source, and the inactive Drive child acts as the default destination
- of file I/O operations.
-
- The Drive children may also be configured side by side or with one above the
- other, and the File and Directory ListBoxes in each may swap positions.
-
- All features of FILER may be selected from the mouse, keyboard, or menu
- items.
